photosynthesis

three main factors of photosynthesis (besides CO2 from the air) are the availability of light, water, and nutrients. A secondary factor of
growing is individual temperature needs of different plants. These are all things that can
be controlled in our indoor growing labs. We’ve also discussed the feasi
bility and costs of
growing stuff in our own space, including parameters such as set
–
up costs, buying soil
s, and
operating (electricity) costs.
For this assignment you will propose a study or experiment based on your
observations in the plant labs for the
past five weeks. Surely you’ve noticed differences in
the growing systems. What are they? From these observations, can you propose a
hypothesis you can test? What is the question you are looking to answer? Design an
experiment that could isolate and
test to answer this question.
(
You m
ay want to take a few
pi
ctures of the systems to help.

Your essay will
include the
following
information
:
Introduction
/background
:
?
A brief background to the growing systems
–
make sure there’s some cited facts
?
A brief overview of your observations
?
Is there supporting evidence (o
ther literature) of your observations?
?
A hypothesis
you think you can test
?
The question (which, by the way, is not worded as a question); “The aim of this
study is to show whether…”
The Process (Methods and Materials):
?
What system will you use, i.e. growin
g medium, lighting, nutrients, and other ideas?
?
What plants are you using, and why?
?
You must include some literature review (cited references) about your growing
system
?
How do you propose to isolate the pieces of your experiment (e.g. so lights from
neighb
oring system doesn’t skew your results)?
?
What external or outlying factors do you think you can or can’t control, and how do
you believe they might affect your study?
?
For how long do you think you should run this experiment to get distinguishable
results?
?
How are you planning on measuring your results (e.g., height, biomass, visual
picture of health, flavor,
electricity use,
etc.)
–
and why?
Discussion and conclusion
: Part of writing science papers is that you must always leave a
door open for further futur
e study or ideas (that’s how we generate future paychecks). So
wrap it up by showing how this study could be useful.
?
What results do you expect?
?
What useful applications are there for your study results?
?
Why is it important?
?
Where would you go next?
